Extremely Odd (And Likely False) Fallout Listing Appears On IMDB

Update: And just like that, the IMDB page has disappeared. Depending on your personal penchant for conspiracy theories, you might take this as confirmation of the information of verification of the details as a hoax. Until Bethesda is good and ready though, we won't know for sure.

Original Story:

Bethesda has been mum on its next single-player, open-world game, but that hasn’t stopped fans from speculating. A listing on the Internet Movie Database (which also lists video games) points to an alleged name, cast, and release window for the next Fallout title, though. We’re extremely skeptical given the number of Fallout hoaxes there have been, and suggest that this be taken only as a curiosity.

The IMDB listing for Fallout: Shadows of Boston (which was last updated on February 1, 2014) starts out reasonable enough, listing series’ narrator Ron Perlman in a returning role (war never changes, after all). Erik Dellums, who teased his return as DJ Three Dog, is also listed.

The cast also allegedly includes Paul Eiding (Metal Gear Solid), Peter Gil (Fallout 3), and Jeff Baker (Skyrim, Fallout 3). Then, things start to get a little weird. Charles Martinet, the voice of Mario, is apparently attached to the project. The listing also includes Obsidian’s Chris Avellone and 2K Games’ Erik Caponi in the writing credits.

Most curiously, the game is allegedly slated for a 2017 release, which seems extremely far-fetched given that there are voice actors supposedly attached. Did we mention that Charles Martinet is on that list?

Bethesda doesn’t comment on rumors or speculation, as vice president of public relations and marketing Pete Hines has reiterated on numerous occasions. Still, we’ve reached out to him with this one just in case.

I hope Bethesda does the roll out with the Vine mystery video clips. When they're ready to reveal to the world the glory of the next Fallout, they will. It's not time yet. We're not ready.
Also appearing at the same time will be Half Life 3.

Charles Martinet isn't that farfetched as he voiced Paarthurnax in Skyrim a game also by Bethesda games studios. The 2017 does seem to be a big red flag especially to attach voice actors at this stage. If those leaked documents are correct I'd day expect this game sometime in 2015.

Todd Howard said in an interview back in mid 2010 that BGS had two games in the works one which was pretty far along (this turned out to be skyrim) and the other,yet to be revealed, was in reproduction. before any one throw out other games like Dishionord Evil within and Elder Scrolls online none of these games are developed by Bethesda Games studios. Bethesda Games studios last game was Skyrim currently there are no announced games from BGS in development other that the preproduction one mentioned by Howard in 2010.

Maybe the main character's Mario? Fallout: New Mushroom Kingdom--taking place years after the debris of a horrible war with Bowser, who discovered nuclear fire, Mario must traverse the now rotting remains of Peach's kingdom to find the once again and maybe forever lost princess. Along the way, he must come to terms with his past as he encounters Pauline, the one we find out is responsible for the nuclear fire, travels to Daisy's kingdom which is Bowser's next target, and must answer for the disrespect for his brother. Blood-thirsty, mutated goombas out for revenge stand in his way, and he must have one final showdown with his life-long arch rival...

After all the hoaxes about the next fallout I would take any rumor about the next Fallout with a grain of salt, although Pete Hines said that Bethesda wouldn't announce any title for "quite some time" that could make the 2017 date legitimate.
